On Friday you got sent home with a tube from Google and it tells you to ‘Build Your Legend.’ Some of you will have experienced playing the Interland game before. You can always play it again here: https://beinternetawesome.
This week is our final week of remote learning before we all come back together.
As we finish our journey of remote learning and begin a new one we are going to be exploring the text of Super Daisy. Your packs will be ready to collect on Monday. This week we celebrate World Book Day and I am encouraging everyone to read as much as you can. We will be sharing lots of stories with you and I hope to see you sharing lots of stories at home.
Have a great week and look out for our exciting storytelling sessions on the Class Dojo.
It’s been a great first week back and we have really enjoyed the stories by Jan Fearnley.
Mr Wolf’s Pancakes has been an excellent text to base our learning in and out of school on.
Thank you to everyone who has been sending in their home learning photographs and messages.
Here are some photographs of how we have used the book during the week to enhance our learning…
Our home learner of the week is Jasper. Well done for all of your creativity.
Our in school star of the week goes to Taylor for becoming a fluent reader!!
One more week of remote learning and then we will all be back together.
Next week we will be exploring the text Super Daisy!
Hello Reception,
I hope you have had a great half term holiday.
This week we will be reviewing the events of last Tuesday, can anyone remember what happened? That’s right it was Shrove Tuesday, did you all have pancakes?
Well this week we will be looking at an excellent story all about Mr Wolf and his pancakes. Poor Mr Wolf has some really unhelpful neighbours. I wonder if you can find out why?
As always keep sending your photographs and all of your daily tasks will be uploaded onto the Class Dojo. Your planning can be found on the link below and packs are ready to collect from the school office. I hope to see you all soon either virtually or in person. Have a great week!

Today in Reception we have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We have been storytelling in Cantonese, trying traditional foods, learning about the Chinese culture and how they celebrate. We have had a great time and have learned lots of new words in Cantonese.
This term we have had the pleasure of working with Tiny Tweeties.
Our children love these songs and they form part of our daily routine in Nursery and Reception.
Over the term Rachel and Chris have been delivering live session to all schools who have their amazing portal.
Our children and staff have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and we would like to thank them for bringing so much fun and energy to our school.
What a fantastic term we have had.
This week we have been learning about Valentines Day and Chinese New Year so look out for some photographs appearing on the Class Dojo.
Thank you to all of our parents and carers for being so supportive with all of our home learning tasks. Please enjoy a well deserved break and your new packs will be ready for you on our return. The first week back we will be exploring ‘Mr Wolf’s Pancakes’.
Well done to Bobby for using our Smeds and the Smoo’s text to mix colours…
Well done to Taylor for fantastic reading this week. You are now reading so many words on sight. You are amazing!!!
Safer Internet Day 2021 celebrates the amazing range of information and opportunities online, and its potential to inform, connect and inspire us, whilst also looking at how young people can separate fact from fiction.
The campaign focuses on how we can decide what to trust online, supporting young people to question, challenge and change the online world for the better. It will explore how influence, persuasion and manipulation can impact young people’s decisions, opinions and what they share online.
The day will also look at the emotional impact navigating a misleading online world can have on young people and why it is important to create a supportive, critical and questioning culture online that encourages debate and discussion. We want to give young people the skills to support one another, and the strategies to spot and speak out against harmful and misleading content online.
In order to decide on a theme that was important to young people we spoke to them about the types of content they see online and found fake news and inaccurate content to come up often. Young people said they saw:
- ‘I see alot of Fake News content, alot of fake celebrity gossip, fake gossip (general)’
- ‘Adverts on webpages showing celebrities with extreme weight loss transformations and stuff like that.’
- ‘Adverts and pop ups or even occaisionally strangers messages and such.’
- ‘Ppl on tiktok making up news, conspiracy theories…’
Through Safer Internet Day 2021 we will look at why inaccurate content exists, where it comes from, and what young people can do in response.
We know that the issues of misinformation and ‘fake news’ do not solely affect young people, but that these issues do have a great impact on how young people feel about their time online.
We want to help equip young people with the skills they need to spot inaccurate content, which can sometimes be a complex task. Once young people feel more comfortable separating fact from fiction it is important that we then help them to take the next steps in helping to create an internet full of trustworthy and reliable information.
The online world is a great source of information for young people and adults alike, and opportunities to research, learn new facts or skills, and even broaden viewpoints are extremely important to all internet users. The internet is also an important way for young people to build positive relationships – to play, interact and share their lives with their peers. As they navigate these social spaces, they are constantly making decisions about who and what to trust online in the context of playing games together and socialising online. Safer Internet Day gives young people the chance to build the skills they need to be able to make the best decisions as they navigate an online world where everything is not always as it seems.
We invite everyone to join us, and Safer Internet Day supporters across the globe, to help create a better internet.

My goodness, we are entering our last week of half term!!
It is has been a very strange term and I am certainly looking forward to seeing you all as soon as Boris says it’s safe to return. You have been very supportive of our Early Years remote learning journey and for that I say thank you.
This week is going to be a very busy one with lots of celebrations happening. The first part of the week we will be reading our Julia Donaldson story ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’. It is a fantastic love story and I can’t wait to hear what you all though of it (of course we will be making Valentines cards for the ones we love the most). The second half of the week we will be learning about Chinese New Year and how the celebrations differ from our own culture.
Please pick up your packs as there’s a little treat in there for you to join in with the celebrations.
Please keep sending your work back in via the office or Class Dojo. It has been great seeing videos of your children reading and I can offer feedback to support you and your child.
